The module ownership refcounting was done in media_entity_get/put, but that was very confusing and it did not work either in case an application had a v4l-subdevX device open and the module was unbound. When the v4l-subdevX device was closed the media_entity_put was never called and the module refcount was left one too high, making it impossible to unload it. Since v4l2-subdev.c was the only place where media_entity_get/put was called, just move the functionality to v4l2-subdev.c and drop those confusing entity functions. Store the module in subdev_fh so module_put no longer depends on the media_entity struct.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
